In the Great General's Mansion in Northern Xinjiang, the three princes are dealing with daily military affairs. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince mysteriously disappeared, he truly controlled the military power of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and his momentum suddenly rose to the extreme. But he understood that if he wanted the Northern Xinjiang army to truly obey his military orders and establish absolute authority, he had to get rid of Li Leng's people. First of all, the first one is the general Yan Song. This is an old fox and a commander. To get rid of him, we must consider it holistically.

The methods used by the three princes are very general, colluding with the Yuanrong clan and trapping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince Li Leng in a disadvantageous situation. This kind of thing doesn't need much evidence at all. The first point is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince Li Leng did mysteriously disappear after negotiating with the Yuanrong clan. A number of phenomena indicate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince Li Leng are likely to have encountered an accident. In the face of the fait accompli, no matter how Yan Song argues, no one will believe it.

The second point is that Yan Song once committed a crime and was a person who was demoted to slavery by the decree of the Son of Heaven. But after Li Leng took control of the army in Northern Xinjiang, he insisted on reusing Yan Song regardless of the face of the Son of Heaven. This is already a blatant confrontation with the Son of Heaven. When the war situation was tense, for the sake of the overall situation, the Son of Heaven ordered the reappointment of Yan Song as the general of Northern Xinjiang according to Li Leng's suggestion. But this does not mean that the Son of Heaven has completely compromised. Once the war is over, the Son of Heaven will inevitably turn over old accounts and find an excuse to take down Yan Song. Later facts proved that he made the right move. As soon as the report about the arrest of Yan Song went up, the Son of Heaven immediately agreed, and soon issued an order to remove Yan Song from his position as a general, and the third prince temporarily replaced him as a general.

The second person is Tang Chop, and the third prince has spent a lot of thought and used a lot of means on how to get rid of Tang Chop. Tang Shu is different from Yan Song, he is innocent, and he is a pioneer general who climbed up from the bottom, and he has won the trust and support of the low-level soldiers. If you put him and Yan Song together, collude with the Yuanrong clan, and frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Leng, the Tenth Prince, no one will believe it, and it will also make people feel that there is a conspiracy here.

And, the most troublesome thing for the third prince is that the Son of Heaven seems to appreciate Tang Chop a little. The main reason is that Tang Chop is relatively pure and easy to control. The Son of Heaven wanted to rein in Tang Chop and use Tang Chop's prestige in the army to control the Northern Xinjiang army. To a certain extent, Tang Chop is undoubtedly useful. Therefore, the third prince knew very well that the Son of Heaven would not support him in killing Tang Chop. Even if Tang Shu disobeyed the military order and fought against him openly and secretly, the Son of Heaven would tolerate it.

However, Tang Chop also has weaknesses. The more pure the person, the more impulsive. They will give up everything, even their own lives, for the sake of the faith in their hearts. Therefore, he deliberately ordered the large army to withdraw from the Bishan area. Because he knew that the Bishan area was the only passage connecting the Yuanrong clan with the Tang territory. Once the army withdrew from the Bishan area, if Li Leng did not die, it would inevitably fall into the heavy encirclement of the Yuanrong iron cavalry.

And Tang Chop was promoted by Li Leng, in other words, without Li Leng's promotion, Tang Chop is still a low-level squad leader, and he is an ant used as cannon fodder by the powerful. In order to repay Li Leng's kindness, Tang Shu would never let the Bishan area be occupied by the Yuanrong clan. The subsequent development of events really responded to his speculation. As soon as the Northern Xinjiang army retreated, Tang Cho ignored the military order and reoccupied the Bishan area with a vanguard army of 100,000.

"It's been three months, there shouldn't be many people left in the 100,000 vanguard army!" The third prince slowly poured a glass of wine, just now, according to the report of his street messenger, the Yuanrong clan's iron cavalry was exhausted, and launched the last fierce offensive against Tang Slash's vanguard army. It was already the end of the strong crossbow, and he guessed that this time the attack would not be able to be stopped by the vanguard army no matter what, so Tang Slash would inevitably die under the iron cavalry of the Yuan Rong clan.

Drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, a bright smile slowly bloomed on the face of the third prince, Tang beheaded him, and then executed Yan Song, so that the Northern Frontier army was completely controlled by him. At that time, even if Li Leng came back alive, he would not be able to control the army of Northern Xinjiang. Thinking of this, the third prince was excited, put down his wine glass, and drank, "Someone is coming." ”

"Overseer. A soldier walked in, knelt on the ground, and asked respectfully, "Please give the order." ”

"The Overseer?" the Third Prince sneered and said, "I won't be a Overseer soon." Give me orders that all the generals assemble in my tent. The Son of Heaven ordered the immediate execution of the former general Yan Song. ”

The soldier hesitated, but still obeyed the military order of the third prince and withdrew from the camp, but in the middle of the moment, the generals in the army arrived outside the camp.

The third prince is very satisfied with this speed, since Li Leng didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Yan Song was arrested, and Tang Shu was not in the army, his personal prestige was getting higher and higher, and no one dared to offend him. The smile on the face of the third prince became brighter and brighter, glanced at everyone, and said: "The Son of Heaven has a holy decree, the former general Yan Song, colluded with the Yuanrong clan, framed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince Li Leng, the crime is unforgivable, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the sentence is immediately decided." ”

When the generals heard this decision, they were all taken aback, some wanted to intercede for Yan Song, while others felt that something was wrong, that Yan Song had become a slave, and that it was Li Lengli who overrode public opinion, and even insisted on promoting Yan Song to the general of Northern Xinjiang at the expense of confronting the Son of Heaven. Under such circumstances, even if Yan Song's brain was kicked by a donkey, he would not collude with the Yuanrong clan to frame the tenth prince Li Leng. This is definitely a conspiracy, thinking of the recent series of actions of the three princes, many generals have already understood it in their hearts.

The executioner escorted Yan Song up, and Yan Song wore a cloak of hair, but he refused to kneel to the three princes, looked at the three princes angrily, and said coldly: "In order to eliminate dissidents, you deliberately framed your own people, you are destroying the Great Wall of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Self-destruction of the Great Wall, do you think you are the Great Wall?" the third prince sneered gloomily, "Yan Song, you take yourself too seriously! The real Great Wall of my Tang Dynasty is the Son of Heaven, and with the Son of Heaven, our Great Wall is here." You compare yourself to a growing city, are you trying to rebel? What a boldness!"

"In order to control the army in Northern Xinjiang, you deliberately attacked dissidents and made the entire Northern Xinjiang people panic. Once the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry launches an offensive, I'll see what you can do to resist. Yan Song glared angrily, "When His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is here, he will never do such a thing." As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the world, even if this person is an enemy of the Ten Princes, the Ten Princes will reuse him, and they will not ignore the world for their own selfish interests like you. ”

"You shut up for me! Li Leng is dead, he is gone, the entire northern Xinjiang is mine, hear it or not, it's mine. At the beginning, he advised Li Leng not to take risks, but Li Leng refused to listen. Well, if something happens, he will say that he is incapable? Is it tolerable, but which is unbearable. The third prince said murderously, "Pull him out for me, behead, behead ......"

"I'll see, who dares!" a cold voice came steadily from outside. Immediately afterwards, the tent was opened, and a group of soldiers rushed in, directly surrounding the entire tent. Each soldier pulled out the crossbow in his hand, and the arrow was aimed at the three princes, as well as several henchmen of the three princes.

Something happened suddenly, and no one knew what was going on. However, everyone is very familiar with that voice, which is the voice of the Ten Princes Li Leng. Sure enough, a person slowly walked in outside the tent, it was not Li Leng or anyone. After all the generals saw Li Leng, their faces were full of shock, and after a while, more than half of the generals knelt down excitedly and shouted loudly: "See the general, see the general." ”

The tenth prince, Li Leng, did not die and came back from the base camp of the Yuanrong clan unharmed, this is simply a miracle!

"Ten...... Tenth brother, you ...... Are you back?" the third prince was dumbfounded, standing up blankly, completely dumbfounded. How could it be? That time, he clearly saw the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan chasing and killing the Ten Princes, how could Li Leng be intact? There is also ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, didn't he collude with the Yuanrong clan? How could he come back safely? What happened to him? Why did he become like this?

"Third brother, you can't think of it, we will come back safe and sound. Li Leng looked at the third prince quietly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.

"I really didn't expect that. The third prince slowly calmed down, the situation was unfavorable to him, but he was not without the ability to fight back, his eyes looked at Li Leng fearlessly, and said, "It's been three months, we have been looking for the tenth brother for three months, and I thought that the tenth brother had encountered an accident." God, you came back safe and sound. I believe that my father will be very happy when he finds out. ”

"Oh, is it? I'm not dead, you won't be disappointed?" Li Leng walked over slowly, pulled Yan Song up, and said lightly, "You are the general of Northern Xinjiang, remember, without my order, the Son of Heaven cannot deprive you of your position as a general." ”

"Tenth brother......" The third prince was furious, glanced at everyone coldly, suppressed his anger, and said dissatisfiedly, "You have to be cautious in your words and deeds." The Son of Heaven is the lord of the world, and if you say such rebellious words, are you not afraid of the wrath of the Son of Heaven?"

"What does it matter if the Son of Heaven is angry or not?" Li Leng walked over unhurriedly, stared at the third prince, and said coldly, "You have smashed so many ghosts behind your back, don't you just want me to say something rebellious, so that you can secretly report to the Son of Heaven and convict me of a major crime of rebellion? Now, I will give you this opportunity, and you can report it to the Son of Heaven." ”

The third prince gasped, he hadn't seen him for three months, and the tenth brother in front of him seemed to be even more arrogant and unscrupulous than before, and said coldly: "Tenth brother, I don't understand what you're talking about." I can not report this matter to the Son of Heaven, but you had better not interfere in Yan Song's matter. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand...... Yan Song...... It's my people, the people who want to kill me, have you ever asked me if I agree?" Li Leng strongly protected his shortcomings, stared at the third prince stubbornly, and said coldly, "I want to ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince, what kind of crime did Yan Song commit, and you have to kill him?"

He ...... Collusion with the Yuanrong clan is not good for you and His Royal Highness the Prince, and according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will not be spared. The third prince was a little weak-hearted.

"It seems that he has already been convicted, but what about the evidence?" Li sneered and sneered, this kind of clumsy trick, that is, to deceive a three-year-old child, there is no excuse for the crime that they want to add, they are good, and the reasons are all made up.

"This ......" the third prince wanted to say, isn't the truth obvious? But Li Leng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have already returned, and the so-called blaze is not of much significance, if he wants to emphasize this point again, Li Leng flatly denies it, it will undoubtedly prove that Yan Song is innocent. At the moment, Li Leng must be allowed to take the initiative to ignore Yan Song's affairs.

"Tenth brother, I hope you understand that killing Yan Song is the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. I, a supervising army, if I don't have the will of the Son of Heaven, how dare I kill the general of Northern Xinjiang?" The third prince had no choice but to throw the Son of Heaven so as to put pressure on Li Leng and let Li Leng not take care of Yan Song's affairs.

"His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, it is the Son of Heaven who wants to kill the last general, and your intentions are already known. But the Son of Heaven cannot be violated, and be careful that people with ulterior motives will make a big fuss about this matter. Yan Song took a deep breath and sighed with a wry smile. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. The Son of Heaven has already made a will, even if Li Leng has the heart to protect him, it is impossible.

Instead of putting Li Leng in a dilemma, or even in danger, he should die frankly and honestly, which will make Li Leng's reputation full. As long as Li Leng returns, then the Northern Xinjiang army will still be in Li Leng's hands, and the conspiracy of the three princes will not succeed.

"What's the matter?" Li Leng sneered a few times, slowly stretched out his right hand, and said to the third prince, "You said that it is the will of the Son of Heaven, okay, take out the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and let me see." ”

"Tenth brother, why bother?" the third prince persuaded bitterly, "The Son of Heaven has the intention to kill Yan Song to deter others, if you block the plan of the Son of Heaven like this, you will not have good fruits to eat." ”

"That is without the decree of the Son of Heaven. Li Leng's eyes became even colder, and he said murderously, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, what are the consequences of those who dare to kill me without the will of the Son of Heaven, I don't say that you know it in your heart." ”

"You...... It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people, if you want to go against the Son of Heaven, then I have no choice. The third prince angrily took out the holy decree, put it in Li Leng's hands, and said angrily, "You have to see, see for yourself!"

Li Leng's eyes were cold, the yuan power in the sky and sea was released, and when he heard the hissing sound, the holy decree in his hand suddenly turned into a burst of powder and disappeared without a trace.

"Tenth brother, what are you doing?" the third prince was shocked and said angrily, "The holy decree represents the face of the Son of Heaven, and you tear up the Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven, that is to despise the authority of the Son of Heaven." Okay, I see how you explain this to the Son of Heaven?"

The others also looked at Li Leng with surprise on their faces, and tore apart the holy decree of the Son of Heaven in public, which was no different from rebellion, with the character of the Son of Heaven, he would definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen.

This Royal Highness of the Ten Princes is too bold! Does he want to rebel?

Yan Song was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, you, you are confused! Tear up the holy decree, how can the Son of Heaven spare you." For the sake of the guilty ministers, it is not worth it for His Royal Highness the Ten Princes to do this!"
